Ehh power is not an issue for me. I mean I read a LOT and I mean LOT and I have never had the battery let out on me though I think the MS stick drains the battery faster than an SD card ??? odd ehh. Plus I do not like internal memory on any device. If the device fails it takes its contents with it. With a memory card I can extract the memory card and be on my way.
I am just really picky about end user control over my hardware. I have a real problem with my property dictates terms to me the owner of said property. It really bugs me :-) its WHY I bought the Sony Reader for its native file support with NO need for any software at all except my computer and the software it already has. It was a make or break buying point to me.
No native file support no sale. And so what I just use 2 2gb cards. I would never try to carry that many books on me anyway but it would be nice to have say 100-200 books on me even if just for reference or for the sake of having. a general selection so if someone else wants to read something there is a chance I will have something they want. with the current make up this is impossible the screens would be too cumbersome to navigate. So hopefully they will fix it and enable folder access.
Its surprisingly useful for MAPS too !! I capture google maps format to the screen convert to greyscale and jack up the contrast to make it work better on the 4 shades and its VERY nice :-)
